Among the rarest and most sought-after expressions in the Del Maguey portfolio, Tepextate Mezcal is a singular encounter with one of the most extraordinary agaves in Mexico. The Tepextate plant grows wild for up to 35 years before it is ready to harvest, and every drop of this mezcal carries that slow, patient accumulation of character.
Crafted in the traditional Zapotec villages of Oaxaca using time-honored ancestral methods, Del Maguey Tepextate is produced by hand in small batches with wood-fired roasting, open-air fermentation, and copper pot distillation. The result is a mezcal of remarkable depth and complexity, born entirely from wild-harvested Tepextate agave and the land that shaped it over decades.
- Nose: Wild and untamed aromas of green herbs, tropical fruit, wet stone, and earthy smoke with a floral lift that hints at the agave's decades in the ground
- Palate: Rich and layered with notes of roasted agave, citrus zest, white pepper, fresh herbs, and a savory minerality that speaks to its wild origins
- Finish: Long, complex, and gently smoky with lingering floral and herbal notes that reward patience and contemplation
Del Maguey Tepextate is best appreciated neat or with a small splash of water to open it up, though it also brings stunning depth to a Mezcal Negroni or an Oaxacan Old Fashioned for those who want to explore its character in a cocktail setting.
Serve neat at room temperature in a wide-mouthed copita or rocks glass to fully appreciate its aromatic complexity. A rare and revered expression crafted from wild Tepextate agave in the Oaxacan highlands of Mexico.
